EV Interview

Fernando Triff

Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?

Triff: I have grown up in Brazil,  since very young I was supported by my family that bought  me a lot vinyls and books, but I only decide to become an artist at the age of 13 inspired by bands like Nirvana.

Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?

 

Triff: I was looking for my identity, our parents always pick the kid’s name without asking if we like or not.

I picked this name many years ago I can tell  with each passing day is making more sense.

Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?

Triff:  Yes, I already made that when I released “Indigo Riot!” it’s still available for free download at Google Play store.

I believe is a great thing for those who support you.

Exposed Vocals: Since everyone was a start-up once, can you give any smaller or local bands or artists looking to get gigs and airplay some tips?

Triff:: Sure, work professionally, invest in your career is the key.

I feel that many artists do not go anywhere because they do not develop a professional  attitude.

Exposed Vocals: Where do you usually gather songwriting inspiration? What is your usual songwriting process?
